1E: Pioneers in Green IT & Power Management – Ecopreneurist

1E is a wonderful success story of a tech company with humble beginnings but deep-rooted green values. 1E was formed back in 1997 by Sumir Karayi, Mark Blackburn and Phil Wilcock who got together whilst working at Microsoft. With many years of experience working with blue chip companies they saw a need to reduce the cost and energy associated with managing Windows PCs and Servers. With $2500 (£1500) in capital, 1E was conceived and built upon a strong foundation in technical excellence and team spirit.
